I was quite surprised (and pleased) to find during the recent Australian Open, that the Eurosport Player app on AppleTV is now 50fps. When did that change occur? It still appears to be half that rate on their web player.

So given that Amazon's offering looks like it will still be pretty rubbish, I'm going to look into using TennisTV instead. It is a shame however that they don't at least offer some kind of free trial. I cannot find any information on their website confirming that they show events at a proper frame rate, so do people know if it is definitely 50/60 fps on the Apple TV app? I downloaded the app, which does have a section on it for free videos, however, that content was definitely only 25fps. So now I'm not sure what the situation is. I'm thinking I might just try it for 1-month, but I'm going to wait for Indian Wells / Miami 1000 events.

One other question I'm interested in knowing the answer to is for their replays, do they do anything to obscure the duration of the video stream, thereby not giving away a big indication to how the match will play out? (When Amazon put up a replay and display something like "90 mins", it's pretty obvious who is going to win once you've watched the first set)

I don't know about Apple TV, but I get 50fps on both the web app and PS4 on live events. Not sure about full replays, but I noticed some of the short highlight packages were 25fps, despite the live stream having been 50. There has been the occasional small event where some of the live matches were still 25, but they're pretty rare, and it was usually fixed for the later rounds. US events are 50fps, not 60fps, which would have been nice. Maybe a barrage of requests to customer service might help? I wonder if it's geo specific and US subs get 60fps, though.

This week on Amazon is the ATP 500 from Rotterdam. It will be interesting to see if they just take the World Feed or have their own commentators.
Last week's tournament was much better with replays being uploaded within minutes of the game ending.
The only minus points was a late start on Saturday and the commentator was dire. Hopefully better this week.

They also started masking the length of matches - on the event page, they are all listed as '2 hours' now, regardless of actual length. So much easier to avoid spoilers than it was (and no harder than a recorded match on Sky used to be).

If only they could upgrade to a full 50fps streaming quality, and have full pause / rewind on the live stream, then I think it'd be pretty much up to scratch vs Sky. Sky also used the World Feed for smaller tournaments (and early rounds of Masters series events), so they're getting there...

Had a little look yesterday and noticed that if you chose the "main channel" you got commentary, but if you chose one of the 2 dedicated court feeds, you didn't. That's no different to how Sky handled it, however, I noticed that this seemed to extend to the replays regrettably, as even matches that had included commentary when shown live, didn't seem to have any on the replay. Was that just an error, or are they always doing that?

No all replays are without commentary
Thats great for me
Others may have a different opinion

I'm looking for something as close to Sky's previous coverage as possible, so my preference would be for the commentary, but I can certainly understand why others would prefer it without. It's not too difficult to put multiple audio streams into a video file, so I guess if they really ever wanted to, they could offer people both options.

That's essentially what I would like too, which I think is why I'm likely to end up using Tennis TV if they offer those things. In the "Sky years", I always recorded the days coverage, and then just watched the matches I wanted to when I wasn't either working or sleeping
